Geumjeong Korean sashimi
Right outside Exit 2 of Oncheonjang Station, next door to the Momos Coffee main branch, in a converted house where each room holds a few tables. The sign says sashimi house, but at lunch it fills with people who have come for the lunch special.
What separates it from other sashimi houses is the side dish buffet. More than twenty dishes are laid out to take as you like, and the line-up changes with the day: japchae, seasoned greens, stir-fried squid, spicy pork, grilled fish, acorn jelly, dressed half-dried squid, braised half-dried pollack, and salted hairtail innards have all appeared, with steamed rice cake for dessert. The side dishes alone will empty a bowl of rice.
The lunch special runs KRW 17,000 for the set meal or the sashimi rice bowl, KRW 19,000 for the premium bowl, KRW 20,000 for mulhoe, KRW 25,000 for flounder mulhoe, and KRW 50,000 for rockfish soup for two. The mulhoe arrives as a wide bowl of fish and vegetables with the seasoned broth poured separately, so it can be adjusted and eaten with rice stirred in; the sauce is lightly spicy without heavy salt. The KRW 10,000 Korean set changes only its soup each day and leans on the buffet for everything else, which makes it the cheapest full meal here. In the evening the sashimi menu takes over, with assorted sashimi at KRW 50,000, KRW 75,000 and KRW 100,000 by size, assorted seafood at KRW 50,000 and KRW 60,000, and octopus at KRW 40,000.
A queue forms before the 11:00 opening and the crowd skews older, so anyone after the lunch special should arrive as the doors open. The lunch special is only ordered between 11:00 and 14:00. Hours are 11:00 to 23:30 daily, closed the second and fourth Monday. There is no dedicated car park, so the Oncheonjang Station public parking right outside is the option.
